Coloured suite to white in Langenhoe, Essex
Our repair technicians come to Langenhoe for resurfacing coloured baths, basins and trays in white. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfacing from £350
- Selling or letting a home with an old suite
- A suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Coloured bath resurfacing in Langenhoe, done in place
Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. A full suite is generally done in one to two days. Our repair technicians work on coloured basins, avocado, pampas and pink baths and coloured shower trays, and people most often call us about selling or letting a home with an old suite and a dated coloured suite you’d like in white.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Treat it like any resurfaced bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white changes the colour with everything left in place. Prices start from £350. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes one to two days for a full suite, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The room is protected and ventilated.
- Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
- We key the surface and apply a bonding primer.
- The new white, or other colour, finish is sprayed on.
- Each item is left to cure, normally ready the following day.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
- Items cracked right through
- Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
